“Yesterday we played with our balls”
Apparently, in the 70’s and 80’s, a children’s show called Rainbow ran on British TV. A helpful individual put up the script (and a reasonably crappy flash video/audio) of one of the episodes. It is quite possibly the most suggestive piece of children’s programming I have ever heard. Choice dialogue:
Rod: “We could hear you all banging away.”
Roger: “Banging can be fun.”
Jane: “Ooooh yes, and I was banging away all last night with Rod and Roger.”
Roger (looking sad): “Yes, but it broke my plucking instrument.”
Geoffrey: “Never mind Roger, let sing the plucking song, come on everybody get your instruments out.”
Rod (to Jane): “Do you want to blow on my pipe while I’m twanging away?”
Jane: “Oh no Rod, I was blowing a lot with Roger last night. But would you like to play with my maracas?”
Zippy: “No, let’s just pluck away with our twangers.”
Bungle: “Yes, it doesn’t matter what size your twanger is.”
Zippy: “I’ve got a big red one.”
George: “I’ve only got a tiny twanger. But it works well and I like to play with it.”
Geoffrey (to viewers): “Well, have you got your twangers out? And remember, you can bounce your balls at the same time. If you haven’t got any balls, ask a friend if you can play with his. Now, let’s all sing the plucking song.”
Read and laugh and cringe.
